Cost Effective Model for Using Different Cloud Services

TL;DR: The readers can get insight of what cloud computing is, what are the various cloud services considered for this paper and various cloud providing systems so that users can purchase which is best and cheap related to the platform they are using.
Abstract: The trend of cloud computing has started from the beginning of Amazon’s cloud services in 2006 despite its extravagant beginning in its starting years now cloud computing is easily one of the trending concepts in computer science engineering. Cloud computing has shown tremendous amount of results in various sectors. This case study helps to find out the similarities and contrasts between different cloud service providers in terms of their technical aspects and range of services provided by them. This case study was used as a subjective methodology for sampling. Since we all know the boom of cloud services that play a vital role in our lives, we do not know the background process in the cloud world. Cloud services are mostly offering renting access to enormous pool of computational power and accounting capacities to the resources. Generally, these are cloud-based‬ infrastructure which describes on characterizing the accounting arrangements for obtaining resources. Most vitally cost-effective strategy is most useful so that the cloud can be purchased at low price and can be used as proficiently as conceivable as possible. ‬With this case study, the readers can get insight of what cloud computing is, what are the various cloud services considered for this paper and various cloud providing systems so that users can purchase which is best and cheap related to the platform they are using.

TL;DR: Blockchain-enabled solutions for virtualized cloud platforms involving both the end-users and cloud service providers (CSP) to address and solve various security and privacy-related vulnerabilities will help the data centre industry to improve its virtualization cloud services and resource provisioning facilities.
Abstract: Cloud computing is a well-known technology that provides flexible, efficient, and cost-effective IT solutions for multinationals to offer improved and enhanced quality of business services to end-users. The cloud computing paradigm is instigated from the grid and parallel computing models. It uses virtualization, server consolidation, utility computing, and other computing technologies and models for providing better IT solutions for large-scale computational data centres. It encompasses different services for supporting data storage, networking, and computing for facilities and amenities for businesses and multinational corporations. The enormous elastic on-demand cloud provisioning resources and services and datasets are processed and stored in tier-level virtualized cloud data centres operated by third-party service providers called cloud owners. The primary issue with these cloud service providers is to provide and maintain data security, privacy, and confidentiality and service availability and data support for end-users. This paper reviews, highlights, and discusses some of the common cloud computing vulnerabilities primarily related to virtualization platforms and their implementations while outsourcing services and resources to different end-users and business enterprises. We then provided blockchain-enabled solutions for virtualized cloud platforms involving both the end-users and cloud service providers (CSP) to address and solve various security and privacy-related vulnerabilities. These solutions will help the data centre industry to improve its virtualized cloud services and resource provisioning facilities. Finally, we discussed different blockchain-related implementation challenges in cloud infrastructures.

TL;DR: A framework for SaaS provisioning, which relies on brokered Service Level agreements (SLAs), between service consumers and SAAS providers is proposed, which helps consumers selecting the right SaaA provider that can fulfill their functional and quality-of-service requirements.
Abstract: The growing adoption of cloud computing and the proliferation of Internet-enabled handheld devices are changing the services landscape. Given the abundance and the variety of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings, we propose, in this paper, a framework for SaaS provisioning, which relies on brokered Service Level agreements (SLAs), between service consumers and SaaS providers. A Cloud Service Broker (CSB) helps consumers selecting the right SaaS provider that can fulfill their functional and quality-of-service (QoS) requirements. Its Selection Manager component ranks SaaS providers by matching their QoS offerings against the QoS requirements of the service consumer. Furthermore, the CSB is in charge of negotiating the SLA terms - using a multi-attributes negotiation model - with a selected SaaS provider on behalf of the service consumer, and monitoring the compliance to the SLA during its implementation.

TL;DR: A distributed cloud broker that have the main task of selecting dynamically a set of Cloud resources, from different vendors, that best fits users requirements is proposed.
Abstract: Cloud computing is a technology of enormous scope for innovation especially in a volatile market and rapidly evolving, in which, the ability to exploit new technologies and remaining competitive is more important. However the choice of Cloud providers, whose offers best fit the requirements of a particular application, is a complex issue due to the variety of potential options and the number of variables to consider. In this paper we propose a distributed cloud broker that have the main task of selecting dynamically a set of Cloud resources, from different vendors, that best fits users requirements. Brokering has been developed as a service over the Cloud to exploit the elasticity of such compute utility and to provide scalability respect to a dynamic changing workload.

TL;DR: The introduction of a centralized component, the Cloud Governance, is necessary in order to enable the development of complex cloud ecosystems and to exploit a business level on the top of various *-as-a-Service layers.
Abstract: After the large penetration of Cloud Computing, more and more developers are taking into account migrating their applications to the Cloud, in order to take advantage of the characteristics of this new environment. In close relation with application migration, an increasing number of development and execution platforms, delivered as PaaS solutions (such as mOSAIC, 4CaaSt, Cloud Foundry, Open Shift, Stackato, and others) are offering their services for development, deployment, and execution of applications that are using in an optimum manner the five characteristics of the Cloud. Following this massive migration of applications, especially from SOA, to Cloud environments, new requirements for application development could be identified in order to enable the construction of complex solutions, and to exploit a business level on the top of various *-as-a-Service layers. The introduction of a centralized component, the Cloud Governance, is necessary in order to enable the development of complex cloud ecosystems. This centralized component is extending, complementing, completing and integrating core features from the PaaS layer, like monitoring, provisioning, negotiation, and others, and integrate features of various Cloud management solutions.
